The average person produces heat at the rate of about 120 W when at rest. At what rate must water evaporate from the body to get rid of all this energy? (For simplicity, we assume this evaporation occurs when a person is sitting in the shade and surrounding temperatures are the same as skin temperature, eliminating heat transfer by other methods.) Express your answer in g/min, to at least two digits after the decimal point.

2.26. The Prandtl number, Npr, is a dimensionless group important in heat-transfer calculations. It is defined as Cpulk, where C, is the heat capacity of a fluid, u is the fluid viscosity, and k is the thermal conductivity. For a particular fluid, C, = 0.583 J/(g-°C), k = 0.286 W/(m-°C), and u = 1936 lbm/(ft-h). Estimate the %3D value of Npr without using a calculator (remember, it is dimensionless), showing your calculations; then determine it with a calculator.

The quantity of energy Q transferred by heat conduction through an insulating pad in time interval Δt is described by Q/Δt = κAΔT/d, where κ is the thermal conductivity of the material, A is the face area of the pad (perpendicular to the direction of heat flow), ΔT is the difference in temperature across the pad, and d is the thickness of the pad. In one trial to test material as lining for sleeping bags, 86.0 J of heat is transferred through a 3.40-cm-thick pad when the temperature on one side is 37.0°C and on the other side is 2.00°C. In a trial of the same duration with the same temperatures, how much heat will be transferred when more of the material is added to form a pad with the same face area and total thickness 8.41 cm?
Heat Q, which has the SI unit of joule (J), is the quantity in mechanical engineering that describes the transit of energy from one location to another. The equation for the flow of heat during the time interval At through an insulated wall is KAAT Q = (Тh — T) where k is the thermal conductivity of the material from which the wall is made, A and L are the wall's area and thickness, and Th – T; is the difference (in degrees Celsius) between the high- and low-temperature sides of the wall.
